Uncertain Distance
Mist diffuses
The vibrant green
Of newborn leaves on
Elms along the distant road
Rush hour uncertain, hushed
Diffused by a vapor curtain
Angles softened and distance obscured
The world seems to draw closer
As in a room one draws the blinds
Separating intimate space
In the midst of subdued hues
Softly unhurried footsteps
Filled with immediacy
Leading to uncertain delights
In a distant room
Driving is surreal
Suburban landscape
Disappearing at variable distance
With familiar uncertainty
Like a faded watercolor
Diaphanous world
Colored with pastels
Applied by translucent hands
Melting in the mist
Of uncertain distance
